'CONVERSATION':'If two people can speak about themselves for five minutes, then the two of them can carry on a conversation of ten minutes.'

'For purposes of this course of ten lessons, you should prepare in writing all the extraordinary things about yourself with either true or invented details, and then memorize them, so that you can give a talk about yourself in Transitional English for five minutes. You can consult your notes, if necessary.'

'Using the above paragraph as a model, write your own brief biographical paragraph.'

'OBSERVATION': Any intelligent person can learn Transitional English rapidly and most easily. Transitional English can serve as a medium of global communication. It is simple, flexible and a practical solution to the problem of intercultural communication, and face to face comprehension. Transitional English is ready for experimentation as an auxiliary universal second language, as a global dialect, or as some call it a "globolect."'

'The five vowels are always pronounced the same way, which is an improvement over standard English, which gives each vowel various values. Moreover, each vowel has its counterpart that is pronunced longer. The longer vowesl are marked with an umlaut, two dots over the long vowel. A fifth vowel, that shows up frequently is the neutral, or schwa, vowel, that the mauth a bit more closed than for the a, and the tongue slightly pulled back while the voicing is also more retracted in the mouth and is almost pharyngeal.'

A 'as in [your language word]'

E 'as in [" " " ]'

I 'as in [" " " ]'

O 'as in [" " " ]'

U 'as in [" " " ]'

'The five prolonged vowels appear as: ä, ë, ï, ö, ü.'

'The other important vowel is the schwa, or neutral vowel. This vowel is represented by the symbol û (u with a circumflex). It is normally found wherever the Standard English vowel is unaccented. An example of this neutral vowel is the word 'nútrûl' (neutral), wherein the a is no longer a "pure" vowel, or as in the word pr'sûn (person), where the o is again not a "pure" vowel, or as in 'tûméyto' (tomato), where the o is pronounced as a schwa û.'

'THE DIRECT OBJECT (THE ACCUSATIVE CASE) is recognized by its POSITION, because it follows the verb in a sentence, and not because it has any special ending [case form] in Transitional English: Ay help hi. (I help he.) ' .' Ay hëv byútifl flawrs. (I have beautiful flowers.)'

'VERBS: The verb has only four forms in Transitional English [I-IV], which have only six distinct functions: (I.1) The infinitve, which is identical to form (I.2), the present tense, and to form (I.3), the imperative. While the past tense is distinguished by the -ed ending (II.4), the future tense with the prefix wil-(III.5), while the conditional has the prefix wud- (IV.6).'
